我國勞動部長洪申翰預計21日飛往中國南京出席亞太經濟合作會議（APEC）「人力資源發展部長級會議」，消息一出藍白馬上就有人質疑民進黨政府雙標，一邊對民眾高喊「中國危險」，一邊派部長去交流。對此，已故作家李敖之子李戡笑稱，洪申翰能去對岸，這恰好證明中共口口聲聲說的「嚴懲台獨」全是口號，「中共對民進黨又敬又畏，由此可見一斑」。
李戡近日在臉書發文，「我在2024年1月總統大選前發文支持賴清德，理由是賴清德當總統，兩岸關係才會變好，過了兩年半，證明我的判斷完全正確。洪申翰能去對岸，再次證明中共口口聲聲的『嚴懲台獨』全是口號、《懲治台獨22條意見》宛如廢紙，『擴大長臂管轄權到境外』更是十足笑話，試問人家跑到你『腋下』你都不敢碰，又哪來的膽子敢『向外伸長手臂』？中共對民進黨又敬又畏，由此可見一斑，2028年民進黨繼續執政，兩岸關係必定會越來越好！」
針對相關疑慮，洪申翰強調，「平等參與、對等尊嚴」是台灣參與APEC最核心的原則，台灣作為APEC正式會員，會依規定積極參與、不會自我設限，我方將完全依照「APEC既有的模式」與會，並恪守「對等尊嚴」的要求進行，絕不退讓。
